THE RT. REV. MGR. MAURICE M.
HASSETT .
A Keen-Eyod Business Man, a Strong
Adviser, a Helper of the Humblest
and Neediest of His People.
By DAVID H. BIDDLE
If he followed his own inclinations,
ihe Rt. Rev. Mgr. Maurice M. Hassett,
D. D., rector of St. Patrick's Roman
Catholic Cathedral, would devote the
greater part of his time to the study of
history and theology and the writing
of books.
As it is, he is one of the most active
clergymen in Harrisburg, is head of
the largest Catholic parish of the city,
a lseen-minded business man and
titrong adviser and helper of the
humblest and neediest of his people.
Dr. Hassett is, according to his own
frequent remarks, a recluse by in
clination, but an active, modern leader
and pastor, because he submerges his
Inclinations in his desire to do his
duty. ,
St. Patrick's Cathedral, a magnificent
edifice costing almost a quarter of a
million dollars, was built under Father
Jlassett's direction. His cool-headed
financiering has practically cleared the
parish of a debt of $25,000 against it
*vheii he came here, lias built the new
Cathedral and erected a clubhouse
*vorth $22,000.
He Takes No Credit
He takes no credit for this achieve
ment. He has simply said at times
when his remarkable success is men
tioned:
*'l came here; I found these things
had to be done; I did my best to
accomplish what was before me; our
people have helped wonderfully." '
Dr. Hassett, from the pulpit, com
bines the ideals of the clergyman with
an understanding of modern things.
In his sermons he aims to instruct, his
people, telling them the signilicance of
modern problems as seen by the Cath
olic Church. His sermons are logical,
never sensational; they are statements
of facts, arid facts put in the simplest
and clearest form.
His views on sociological, social,
modern labor and economic problems
are those of the churchman who is
up to date. He never leaves his people
in doubt as to the attitude of the
church on these questions, and his ser
mons arc remarkably effective.
Writer of Authority
As a student Dr. Hassett has dis
tinguished himself as an authority and
•writer on the history of the Catholic
Church and the relation of church and
«tate from the beginnings of the mod
ern era. He has made exhaustive
(■studies in Christian archaeology, hav
ing taken special work in this subject
in Rome, where he received his degree
of doctor of divinity in 1903.
For two years he was professor of
church history and archaeology at the
Catholic University, in Washington. Hu
epent six months in Rome in special
preparation for teaching. He was
called back to this city in 1905 to

—COME—
SATURDAY EVENING,
superintend the erection of St. Pat
rick's Cathedral, then being built.
Dr. Hassett has been rector of the
Cathedral in this city since 1899. Ho
was stationed at two other places be
fore he came here. Bishop John W.
Shanahan, then elected to succeed
Bishop McGovern, appointed Dr. Has
sett to the Cathedral in the summer of
1899. They came to this city within
| a week of each other.
Dr. Hassett prepared for the church
at the University of Ottawa, Canada,
where he took the classical course;
the seminary at Mt. St. Mary's, the
Catholic University at Washington and
In Rome.
Ordained by Cardinal Gibbons
He was ordained by Cardinal Gib
bons in Baltimore, December 21. 1595,
while he was a student. In 1897 he
was made an assistant rector at
St. Mary's Church, Lancaster, where
he stayed a year and eight months.
For two months he was rector of the
church at Littlestown, where he was
when appointed to this city.
Catholic clergymen know him for
his writings on history and theology.
He has contributed numerous authori
tative articles to the Catholic Univer
sity Bulletin and the American Cath-
I olic Quarterly Review. He has pub
lished a series of articles in the latter
periodical on the history of the rela
tions of church and state. The history
of the church from the conversion ot
Constantine Is exhaustively reviewed.
He has Issued several pamphlets, ono
of them being on the French sepa
ration law of 1905.
In October, 1910, a brief from Rome
honored him with the title of mon
signor, given to those churchmen who
have distinguished themselves in their
services to the church. His writings
on the relation of the church and state
are said to have won hintefhe dis
tinction.
Born Back in Tipperary
Born at Bird Hill, Tipperary county,
in Southern Ireland, Dr. Hassett spent
the first eighteen years of his life
there. He studied during his youth
with the idea of entering the church
and went to Canada when he was 18
years old, having decided to make the
New World his home and field of
work. He came to the United States
after he finished his college course at
Ottawa.
Dr. Hassett has enlarged his his
torical studies by extensive travels in
Europe and Asia Minor. He has trav
eled through Palestine several times
and has visited every country in
Europe. Two years ago he made a
visit to his birthplace in Ireland and
took a short trip to the continent. He
has made a deep study of Irish life
and characters and may write a book
about his birthplace someday.
During his fifteen years in this city '
the two parishes have become five.
Three parishes were cut from St. Pat
rick's by Dr. Hassett. They are
St. Francis', on the Hill, formed in
1900; Sacred Heart, formed during the
same year, and St. Mary's, formed in
1905. Despite this branching out the
number of parishioners and the activ
ity of St. Patrick's has not decreased. \
Social Center Work
Social center work at the Cathedral j
has been developed farther than in!
any other church in the city. A club- I
house, completely equipped with gym- 1
naslum and swimming pool, with
meeting .rooms for boys and girls and
older people, is in continuous use. Thi> i
interest of the rector in this project ;
made it possible. The hoys named j
their club in his honor in recognition ;
of his interest in them.
In addition to being rector of the I
largest Catholic church In the dlbcese ,
Dr. Hassett is vlcar-general of the dio
cese, standing next to Bishop Shana- I
hail in his authority in diocesan mat- ;
ters. He succeeded Monsignor Benton, j
of St. James' Church, Steelton, In this !
office when the latter died four years i
ago.
Dr. Hassett is a notably approach- i
able man. He remembers faces and |
names with remarkable facility and!
there is not a person in his parish but
has in some way been helped by his
kindly advice or his sermons of in
struction. But above all he is essen
tially modern, keeping his hand in
on modern problems, seeing their sig
nificance, and dealing with them as
moderns do.

Film WHEN TO
GIVE LENTEN TALKS
: Assistant Rector at St. Patrick's
Cathedral to Give Extracts
During Season
1 laniMM
FATHER WHALEN
Father W. W. Whalen, assistant rec
tor at St. Patrick's Cathedral, has just
published a book entitled "Twilight
Talks for Tired Hearts." Many of the
tilings in'the book have a Lenten sig
nificance. Through a special arrange
ment with Father Whalen, the Tele
graph will offer an extract from this
book each Saturday during Lent.
The first of these extracts is as fol
lows:
"TEMPTATION"
Judas died by the halter because he
did not resist temptation—the tempta
j tion to sins of avarice. Little by little
[he fell. Ho carriec} the purse and
ithe things that were put therein. In
to his charge were placed the few
possessions of the apostolic band. Had
he but resisted in the beginning of
[temptation; had he put away from
liini tlie unworthy thought, he should
not have filled a suicide's grave. But
no, he listened to the tempter's voice;
lie pondered on the delights the devil
promised, till the spider-like threads
of temptation became iron chains, and
bound his soul fast. And in the end,
his unconquered temptation left him
a horrid, ghastly corpse upon a tree.
Fight in the beginning of temptation!
That Is the sermon the dead Judas
preaches. Give no quarter to the devil
or you are lost. "Watch for the ser
pent's head!" warns St. Augustine.
"What is the head? The first sug
gestion of sin. Crush the viper's head,
and you will escape the deadly bite."
Hear the devout Thomas a Kempis:
"The enemy is more easily overcome
if he be not suffered to enter at the
door of our hearts, but he resisted at
the very gate of his first knock."—W.
W. WHALEN.

PAftWBBTTRO TELEGRXPH
EVERY LUTHERAN
CITY WILL
BY "MODERN DISCIPLES"
Going two by two to the homes of
every Lutheran family within a radius
of twenty miles of this city, a thou
sand Lutheran men will make a simul
taneous every-member canvass to
morrow afternoon from 2 to 6 o'clock.
This Is the first time such a wide
spread "every member canvass" ever
will have been conducted in this city.
Every Lutheran home and family will
be visited, and ijt is estimated that
from 18,000 to 22,000 people will be
seen by the thousand workers in the
four hours of the canvass.
The object is to stimulate greater in-
terest in the spiritual work of the
church and to bolster up those who
hove lost interest or have fallen oft
in their support. The spirit of the
church is to be taken into every one
of these thousands of homes by tho
lay workers.
Arrangements have been going on
for two weeks in preparation for the
' monster undertaking. In every church
! the missionary society has had charge
|of conducting the campaign. The vol
i unteers were paired, assigned to dis
-1 tricts and given full instructions as to
what is expected of them when they
| call at a home.
; At the big laymen's convention in
Indianapolis last year the every-meni-
I ber canvass was proposed as a means
of promoting church >vork. The gen
eral synod of the Lutheran Church
apprc ved the idea and set March as
the month for all Lutheran churches
to rrake the canvass. Locally March
8 was fixed as the date, and every
chuicli in this city, Steelton, High
spire, Dauphin, all the West Shore
towns, Shiremanstown, Meciianics
bnrg. Hummelstown and Middietown
will send out their lay visitors to
morrow afternoon in teams ranging
in number from twenty in the smaller
churches to more than a hundred in
the larger churches of the city.
Watchfulness. —At 1.50 o'clock to
morrow afternoon Dr. E. E. Campbell
will speak to the organized class of
men In Zion Lutheran Sunday school.
His subject will be "Watchfulness."

a "novelty' program, but having an
nounced little about details.

side, assisted by Secretary R. F. 'Web
ster, and there will be several talks
and the usual singing. The projected
tabernacle revival campaign for next
Fall will also be laid before the men

will be given to everyone to advance
any ideas he may have about plans
for working up the preliminary cam
paign The meeting to-morrow will
be held in Lenney's Theater, 5 South

PURIM CELEBRATED ON
MARCH 12 THIS YEAR
Play and Dance to Be Given by
Children of Ohev Sholom Tem
ple at Board of Trade
Purim falling this year on March lu*
Is one of the minor festivals or halt
holidays In the Jewish religious calen
dar, and la celebrated on the four
teenth day of the month Adar. The
feast of Purlm Is a festival of joy anil
gladness, based on the story told In the
Book of Esther, one of the "Five
Scrolls," which are contained In thw>
third division of the Hible called "Sac
red Writings." Its celebration com
memorates the deliverance of the Jews
of Persia from total annihilation.
Haman, the Prime Minister of King
Ahasuerus, taking offense at the lach
of deference shown him by Mordecat
the Jew, and In revenge plots the de
struction of all the Jews. The King
unaware that Esther, the Queen, was
a Jewess, granted Hanian's request
anil ordered that on a certain day
chosen by lot (or Pur, which means
casting lots), all the Jews of the king
doms of Persia and Media should be
destroyed, and their property taken
as spoils. At the Intervention of Es
ther, the King withdrew the decree,
ordered Haman, the intriguer, to bt
executed and appointed Mordeeai u."
Prime Minister in lils stead. The very
days on which the general massacre
of the Jews was to have taken place
were now changed into days of joy
and feasting, and given the name
Purim.
A Purim play and dance will be
given by the children of the religious
school of Ohev Sholom Temple on
Thursday night, March l!i, at the
Board of Trade. The play is a drama
tization founded on the "Book of Es
ther."
